According to the survey, almost one in three Germans owns an e-bike

According to a survey conducted by the polling institute Civey on behalf of energy company Eon, nearly one-third (31.4%) of Germans now own an electric bicycle (E-Bike). The survey, which included up to 30,000 respondents aged 18 and older and 2,500 E-Bike owners, found that ownership has more than doubled since the survey began in 2020, rising from 15.2% to 31.4%. Niedersachsen leads the country with 39.4% of residents owning an E-Bike, followed by North Rhine-Westphalia, Bavaria, and Schleswig-Holstein. In contrast, Berlin has the lowest rate at 15.1%. Young people between the ages of 18 and 29 saw the largest increase in E-Bike ownership, with the share rising from 19.4% to 27.2% over the past year. Additionally, almost 40% of E-Bike owners reported using their bikes for trips they would otherwise make by car.
